Can furniture be made from trees thinned out from the forest?

Can a new dinner set be created from donated plates?

Can a restaurant gather ingredients straight from the forest?

Can something new come out of foraging the old?

HEL YES! is a temporary restaurant and exhibition imagined and realised by a creative team of Finnish designers and food visionaries; led by Antto Melasniemi together with Mia Wallenius and Klaus Haapaniemi. HEL YES! will be unveiled 15 September 2010 in a former depot in East London. For 14 days it will serve as a melting pot of people and ideas during London Design Festival.

HEL YES! is commissioned by the Finnish Institute in London.
